Why Choose Us?
Understanding Woodworm: The Hidden Threat to Your Timber
Woodworm isn't a single pest, but a collective term for the larval stage of several species of wood-boring beetles, such as the Common Furniture Beetle, Deathwatch Beetle, or House Longhorn Beetle. These larvae burrow deep within wooden structures – from floorboards and roof joists to furniture and antique items – eating the timber from the inside out. They thrive in damp, untreated wood, often going unnoticed for years until the damage becomes extensive. Ignoring a woodworm infestation can compromise the structural integrity of your property, leading to costly repairs down the line. We offer effective treatments designed to stop them in their tracks.

Who We Are
Spotting the Signs of a Woodworm Infestation in Your Property
It can be tricky to tell if you have woodworm, as the larvae do their destructive work hidden beneath the surface of the timber. However, there are clear signs to look out for. The most common indicators include small, circular "flight holes" (often 1-2mm wide) appearing on wooden surfaces – these are where adult beetles have emerged. You might also notice fine, powdery dust, known as "frass," around these holes or beneath affected timber. This is essentially woodworm droppings. Other signs include crumbling or weakened timber, especially around edges or corners, and in severe cases, tunnels visible on the wood's surface. If you suspect any of these, it's time to call a local expert.
